Physician economic efficiency--a new factor in credentialing
Abstract:
"Economic credentialing"--the use of economic indicators in evaluating physicians for the purposes of staff appointment and reappointment--is a controversial new development in the ongoing struggle to control hospital costs while maintaining quality patient care. This article describes the concept of economic credentialing, discusses some of the legal considerations raised by the use of economic criteria in the credentialing process, and presents the findings of a recent study of the utilization of economic credentialing in hospitals today.
